Our read on HIBS
FMost bear funds short the whole index. HIBS aims at -300% of the daily move of the S&P 500's 100 jumpiest stocks, so it's a leveraged short pointed at the market's high-beta end. A one-day tool, reset every close.
The fund seeks daily investment results equal to -300% of the daily performance of the S&P 500® High Beta Index, before fees and expenses. Its objective applies for a single day and is not intended to provide the same multiple over longer periods.
Why people hold it
- Sharper instrument than a plain index short: the benchmark holds the 100 S&P 500 names most sensitive to market swings, weighted by beta and refreshed on a quarterly schedule.spglobal.com
- The mandate leaves no wiggle room: -300% of the index's one-day move, before fees, spelled out in the fund's own documents.direxion.com
- Fees sit a shade under the typical leveraged bear fund: 1.11% versus a 1.21% cohort median.
- Live since 2019, with a mirror-image bull fund (HIBL) on the same index for traders who flip sides.direxion.com
Worth knowing
- Leverage resets daily, so returns compound. Hold beyond one session and the path of the index matters, not just where it ends up.
- Two risk layers stack here: the twitchiest slice of the S&P 500 and triple inverse exposure, putting it among the more volatile designs in the leveraged bear group.
- It's a niche corner of the shelf, trading less heavily than the broad index-short workhorses, so spreads and order size carry more weight.

HIBS Risk
This fund targets a multiple of the daily move of its index and resets daily. Hold it longer than one reset and compounding makes the return diverge from that target. In choppy markets it can lose value even when the index ends flat.
- 63.4%
